  1. Nurse Anesthesiologist Name Change

    Tegridy replied to matthewandrew's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    There is since it still blurrs the lines. Titrating drips to some predetermined protocol doesn’t really count as medicine. The clinical experience gained as an RN is very different from diagnosing...

  2. Is this experience typical for a new grad NP situation?

    Tegridy replied to CardiacRNLA's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yeah we see all these NPs should have independent practice posts followed up by how hard appropriate patient management is and how they can't hack

  7. Wide complexes not ventricular?

    Tegridy replied to canoehead's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    did he actually need all that O2 or was he just thrown on it like half the patient's in the ER are for the heck of

  8. Chart Following and legal limitations

    Tegridy replied to Gladhill's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You are fine if they are on your service. Looking back on someone to make sure you didn’t miss something while a pt is in a current hospitalization on your service even if seen by a diff person that...

  9. The MD Bias Hits Home

    Tegridy replied to JBMmom's topic in Advanced Practice

    yes night shift is my goal if I don't match GI, which since its GI nothing guaranteed. pays so much more and honestly prefer it to days. and its what I did as an NP. except nocturnist physician jobs...

  10. Cologuard Vs FIT - What is your preference and Why?

    Tegridy replied to QualityQueen's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    https://gi.org/patients/gi-health-and-disease/colon-cancer-fact-sheet/ but in general whatever they are most likely to actual do since nobody likes the poop

  11. The MD Bias Hits Home

    Tegridy replied to JBMmom's topic in Advanced Practice

    MDs are harder to replace since NPs are a dime a dozen now. Doesn’t really matter who is right, just who is harder to replace. I do not know who is right since there are no details. Likely whoever...

  12. Peripheral Vasopressor Administration - Considering Catheter Gauge

    Tegridy replied to 0.9%NormalSarah's topic in Critical Care

    Okay for the nitpicky people here “traditional” central lines…. Since obviously that was insinuated.

  13. Peripheral Vasopressor Administration - Considering Catheter Gauge

    Tegridy replied to 0.9%NormalSarah's topic in Critical Care

    Great review, unfortunately in the real world is a topic heavily surrounded by dogma and any other way besides whoever is in charge is wrong even though the data seems to be….. everywhere....

  14. How do you remain polite and professional with people who don't believe in the Covid vaccine who come to your clinic wanting treatment?

    Tegridy replied to Myruby's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I don't get mad, usually im just like okay your choice you know what the data says". If they push the issue or talk about their freedumb, I might say something like "Fortunately here in American your...

  15. The "easiest way" to pass the AANC test?

    Tegridy replied to Black4kiss's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Do questions, read the explanations, take practice exams, when you pass them with some room then retake. Not much more to it than that. Which course you take probably doesn't matter, have to have a...

  16. Got The Worst Score On Quiz In My Class

    Tegridy replied to FutureMaleNurse9722's topic in General Students

    I don't think the oP cares if others have to take closed book tests or if people did "well" on them. He/she is just anxious and for all we know it may have been garbage

  17. Got The Worst Score On Quiz In My Class

    Tegridy replied to FutureMaleNurse9722's topic in General Students

    So what it was one test. A pass is a pass. Won't make any difference in the future so not much point in worrying about

  18. Dislike Everyone In My Cohort

    Tegridy replied to sadsacrum's topic in General Students

    Fortunately taking exams usually isn’t a team effort. They just gotta study pass and move

  19. Dislike Everyone In My Cohort

    Tegridy replied to sadsacrum's topic in General Students

    I think they were talking just about didactics in nursing school which isn't a team sport but unfortunately everything else is after that point... but yeah they may be part of the issue if they...

  21. Horror Stories: Rethinking Nursing School

    Tegridy replied to ks__102's topic in General Students

    There were probably good facilities also such as the one previously mentioned, which is what we are alluding to, not the shutter island type you described, obviously we aren't condoning that..... It...

  22. Horror Stories: Rethinking Nursing School

    Tegridy replied to ks__102's topic in General Students

    For sure, that's the type of place I was sort of insinuating toward. Beats being homeless for sure and its one thing I wouldn't mind paying a bit more in taxes to support, compared to most of the...

  23. Horror Stories: Rethinking Nursing School

    Tegridy replied to ks__102's topic in General Students

    Who hasn't forgotten to prep and hang an antibiotic. So easy to miss. I've done it before. Believe I forgot to mix the rocephin or something like

  24. Horror Stories: Rethinking Nursing School

    Tegridy replied to ks__102's topic in General Students

    Hence why I said may not have been. I assume the ways the old inpatient psych facilities were ran it wouldn't cost so much. I'm thinking more as giant facilities where they are housed fed, given their...

  25. Travel RN to New FNP - Is it worth it?

    Tegridy replied to SublimeEMTP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It is pretty piss poor that's why I always thought good NP or pa should have some sort of way to be grandfathered into MD or DO'ness. I do think overall physicians are much better able to provide care...
